Use %h/ instead of ~/

Hi Timo,

it doesn't expand either %h nor %%h.

Oh, right, wrong place. If you make it go through proxy, it doesn't do any expansion. It's then accessed by the "dict" process (which probably runs as "dovecot" user).

You could instead use something like:

metadata_dict = file:%h/Maildir/shared-metadata

When I hardcode the path to my dev user's homedir I get a permission error. After hardcoding it to /tmp/shared-metadata the file gets at least written, but the content looks strange:

shared/mailbox/7c2ae515102e144f172d0000d1887b74/shared//vendor/kolab/folder- test true

I haven't really looked at what the metadata plugin actually does..
